Language::Prolog::Yaswi::Low is not purely Perl code. If you have a full compiler setup on Windows you can try the standard install process: `> perl Makefile.PL > make > make test > make install` [download] Otherwise, you'll have to find a packaged version for Windows. If you're using Activestate Perl, first try: `> ppm install Language::Prolog::Yaswi` [download] If Language::Prolog::Yaswi::Low is not in Activestate's repository, try the UWinnipeg, bribes.org, or trouchelle repositories.

`use Language::Prolog::Yaswi::Low.pm` That's wrong in two ways. First the `.pm` shouldn't be there. Secondly the documentation explicitly says `# don't use Language::Prolog::Yaswi::Low; use Language::Prolog::Yaswi; # instead ;-)` [download] Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.

My bad, it doesn't say`.pm`! But Yaswi calls Yaswi::Low. Thanks and regards Steve	[reply] [d/l]

By the way, line 54 in the Yaswi.pm is just `use Language::Prolog::Yaswi::Low.pm` Really? `$ perl -e'use Language::Prolog::Yaswi::Low.pm' syntax error at -e line 1, near "use Language::Prolog::Yaswi::Low." Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.` [download] It fails because it can't find Low.pm Not according to the error your posted. It can't find the DLL associated with the module. I copy Yaswi.pm into the C:\Perl\site\lib\Language\Prolog directory That's not how you install a module!! Start by installing the module.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ah you're right, I didn't read the message properly. It's an error in Low.pm, not Low.pm itself. Thanks for that. It's true that I'm not very experienced at installing from CPAN. I use ppm when I can, but this isn't on it. I did try `Makefile.PL nmake nmake test nmake install` [download] but it failed several times. I emailed the auther about it's failure to install, he was very helpful but mainly a Linux guy and could only say that he know a lot of windows installers had had problems. So I thought a cut and paste job might work. Clearly not. Maybe I'll go back to the install and paste the issues here and then everyone can benefit from it. Thanks and regards Steve	[reply] [d/l]

You might want to try posting the first errors in the build, here.	[reply]

Hi Guys I've now done a full module install for Yaswi. Here are the results Firstly Makefile.PL C:\Perl\cpan\sources\Language-Prolog-Yaswi-0.18>Makefile.PL Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw special) retrieving SWI-Prolog configuration: running 'plcon.exe -dump-runtime-variables' PLBASE: c:/program files/prolog PLARCH: i386-win32 PLLIBS: PLLIB: libpl.lib PLCFLAGS: /MD /GX PLLDFLAGS: PLSOEXT: dll PLVERSION: 50664 PLSHARED: yes PLTHREADS: yes checking thread support in Perl and SWI-Prolog: thread support enabled creating plconfig.c Writing Makefile for Language::Prolog::Yaswi::Low Writing Makefile for Language::Prolog::Yaswi [download] It seems to have worked fine.
